is a dry lubricant composed of a dispersion of fluorocarbon particles carried in methylene chloride and co-solvent rather than ozone-depleting freon or 1,1,1, trichlorethane. 5791C90003 forms a dry lubricant film and is primarily a release agent for polyesters, epoxies and a wide variety of thermosetting resins.

5791C90003 is an excellent metal-to-metal lubricant for locks, machinery, conveyers, drawer glides and wood or metal working equipment.

Application

5791C90003 is best applied by spray gun or wiping on a heated mold with a clean cloth for an even coating. Shake well before using and during prolonged applications, as the settling rate is fairly rapid. Allow to dry completely - elevated temperature will speed the evaporation of solvent. Buff lightly to develop the slick surface desired.

The sprayed particles can also be flame fused to a continuous coating by playing a burner flame lightly and repeatedly over the treated surface (melting point is approximately 570° F.). Care should be taken that the surface is not burned while heat-treating. Use adequate ventilation when flame fusing to prevent fume fever.
